but let's go to green energy. here we go again. he calls for more green energy subsidies, probably hundreds of billions of dollars. let's just review. what went under so far in the first term for green energy? solyndra, a-1 battery, solar trust. it's a bunch of crony capitalism. tell us how wrong that is. let the market choose, not the government. let the market choose, not the government. >> look, i favor letting the market choose but i'll give that a 7 out of 10 in the wrong scale because you're picking the ones that didn't work and it was meant to be a big portfolio of all different kinds of energy when it was designed and we've had this all of the above energy policy, that's the only way to do it. so just picking three or four companies i don't think is that instructive. >> there's another ten i could have used. >> but explores natural gas, too. >> he doesn't say that. he should have come out for the keystone pipeline. do you think the energy department should be a hedge fund portfolio of all these companies they own? that's wh

with clean energy, it should be an all energy approach. not just clean energy. i think it was to mr. bob lutz's point, obviously natural gas is key. and it's going to be one of the most important things to get manufacturing going again. >> do you think the president would give the okay to keystone? a lot of people are talking about keystone. not only as a pipe line, but as a symbolic nature. because people are worried about over-regulation. not just keystone, robert. but also the idea of putting the coal business out of business. that somehow may sneak into this speech. >> i mean, listen. i think streamlining regulation and permitting is critical. i spent a lot of time with the office of information regulation. a lot of good things have happened. but we know over the last decade there's an amalgamation put on the books. so it's tough to decommission and it becomes a pile of you know what. i think at the end of the day -- listen. the jobs council was supportive of the excel pipeline. that is something we're in agreement with the president that an all energy appro
